Need help with two VS Plugin problems.
I'm getting this prompt:
Certificate already exists in Dynatrace / Would you like to overwrite it
...and I've triple checked my credential vault and I see one credential that someone else created....can't see the credential that I'm adding for a JMX Plugin 😞
....and all of the above happened LAST.
The first problem I had was the when I triggered the "Distribute Certificate" option, I got a HTTP 404 message with zero detail. How can I crank up debug logging or view the log?
Thanks,
--Erik

hi @Erik_Ostermuell,
If you dont have the certificate which you are already using, then you can go for the Self signed certificate and get the root and developer certificated stored somewhere local safe and give the location in VS code IDE just like highlighted below, Settings -> Dynatrace Extensions -> Certificates -> "Developer Cert Location" and "Root Cert location" - Please be aware this is one time setup where every time when you build your extension this certificate will be used for sign-in and it will add the certs into the credential vault and you have to add into the AGs in the respective locations
If the certificates are not with you, will be good you can create new cert combination and use it.
Additional note: you can find the certs of AG in the below location,
Linux - /var/lib/dynatrace/remotepluginmodule/agent/conf/certificates/
Windows - %PROGRAMDATA%\dynatrace\remotepluginmodule\agent\conf\certificates
Hope this helps.
Happy to help if anything we can troubleshoot
Thanks
